More 'The O.C.' alums

Tate Donovan Then: Jimmy Cooper was the worst. He was the kind of guy who made you feel bad for him for stealing everybody's money! And every time he started to be a good dad to uber-troubled Marissa and MIA Kaitlyn, he ended up disappearing on a ship or something. Seriously. The worst. Now: Donovan starred on "Damages" for quite a while, and can currently be seen on the big screen in Ben Affleck's '70s Tehran hostage crisis movie "Argo." We prefer to imagine him adrift on a boat, peeling potatoes and crying over a photo of dead Marissa. Autumn Reeser Then: Oh hey, quirky new girl! Though we initially hated her (she slept with the Dean and stole Summer's extra-curriculars!), we ended up kind of loving her. Sort of. We're still not buying her romance with Ryan, and we think she should've stuck with her French husband. Now: Reeser is the first of "The O.C." teens to become a parent! She's a regular tweeter and runs a mommy blog. She's also absolutely delightful on ABC's "Last Resort," airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. Chris Carmack Then: Luke was a total jerk for cheating on Marissa with that skank Holly, but we forgave him because he had a gay dad. (Hey, TV logic!) Then he was a total jerk for sleeping with Marissa's mom, but we forgave him because he moved to Portland and grew sad Portland facial hair. Now: Catch him in "Shark Night 3D!" Or, uh. Don't.
